  In the bustling streets of Persia, Emperor Kosrouschah wanders in disguise and overhears three sisters dreaming out loud—one craving the royal baker, another the chief cook, and the youngest daring to wish for the emperor himself… and children touched by wonder: hair of gold and silver, tears like pearls, a smile like a rose. 
  Kosrouschah grants every wish. But inside the palace, jealousy turns vicious. A queen is shamed, cast out, and left to suffer beneath the gaze of the public—while her lost children are secretly saved and raised far from court, growing into brilliant, accomplished heirs who don’t know their true blood. 
  When a mysterious holy woman speaks of three marvels—the Talking Bird, the Singing Tree, and the Golden Water—the siblings’ quiet life ignites into a perilous journey of illusion, courage, and trial. At the edge of a mountain haunted by unseen voices, one sister must do what no one else can: claim the wonders, reclaim her family, and let the truth finally speak.

  The Alchemist

  H.P. Lovecraft

  Presented by Aetherborne Creations, this audiobook edition of The Alchemist offers H.P. Lovecraft’s early Gothic tale as it was always implied. Not as a sensational horror, but as a measured testament set down by an aged hand. 
  Written in Lovecraft’s youth, yet steeped in ancestral decay and the quiet tyranny of time, The Alchemist unfolds as a first-person account of lineage, inheritance, and a fate long prepared. Within the ruins of a once-noble château, the last heir of an ancient family records the history of a curse that has claimed each generation before its prime. 
  This production is newly recorded and crafted expressly for attentive listening. The narration is delivered as the final memoir of an elder scholar, penning his reckoning by candlelight — unhurried, restrained, and dignified. No musical underscore intrudes upon the telling; the voice alone bears the weight of memory, stone, and years endured. 
  Faithful to the sombre beauty of Lovecraft’s early style, this edition favours atmosphere over excess, and reflection over spectacle. It is an audiobook for listeners who value literary horror, gothic restraint, and the quiet power of a story told as it must finally be told. 
  The Alchemist endures — not as a tale of monsters, but as a meditation upon time, ancestry, and the inescapable reckoning of the past.

  My Four Weeks In France

  Ring Lardner

  In 1917, Ring Lardner was sent on assignment as a war correspondent on the French front for a series of reports for Collier's magazine. Appearing in serialized format in the magazine before its eventual publication as a book, My Four Weeks in France recalls Lardner's experiences in his new wartime role. Being a humorist and a satirist, it would have been inconsistent with his typical format to write harrowing stories about the horrors of combat. For this reason, this book instead consists primarily of harrowing stories of wartime government bureaucracy. Despite his efforts to get up to the front lines to write some legitimate war reportage, Lardner found himself constantly railroaded by one bureaucratic headache after another, and rarely made it to the trenches. What combat stories he did manage to write were mostly rejected by censors. However, his efforts in getting permits, licenses, press passes, and the like made for enough stories to fill a book anyway. My Four Weeks in France offers a unique perspective that sets it apart among the many travelogues and memoirs written about war. By finding moments of levity in what was then known as "the war to end all wars," Lardner demonstrates that he can write nonfiction stories on grim topics while remaining consistent with his typical humorous, slightly satirical writing style. Ring Lardner (died 1933) was a major literary figure of the early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. Memoir and autobiographical writing offer uniquely intimate access to lived experience. My Four Weeks In France invites readers into a singular consciousness, sharing observations and reflections that transcend their specific historical moment to illuminate universal aspects of human life.
